    Pac making past prime oscar quit but has to go up 2 weight classes above and has enormous size disadvantage. Pac as a huge underdog coming in.

    the "circus" fight

    or

    A 35 yr. old JMM knocking out a young light weight champion. JMM was favored to win.

    Pac's win will be remembered for years and years to come. The Diaz win will be just another notch on JMM's belt.

    Dinamitas win was better. Oscar was an old punching bag

    Pac's win over ODH. Marquez himself, said that Pac didn't have a chance.

    Considering there was nothing in there but a shambling shell that looked like ODLH, I would say JMM.

    Both are huge win but it's gotta be pacman. Delahoya is known all over the world, diaz on the other hand is not. Great win for marquez but common diaz-marquez wasn't even a PPV fight.

    Oscar= past-prime shell of his former self + weight drained and weak
    Diaz= young champion in his prime with a good record

    Pac over Oscar and it's not even close. I get that tonight's fight was one of the most entertaining fights in recent memory but lets not forget that most so called experts picked JMM and these same experts laughed and heckled the idea that Pac had a chance to beat De La Hoya much less dominate and stop him.

    I agree. It seems that many people are punch drunk on the entertainment level of the fight, and are forgetting Diaz is a 'B level' fighter.
